I'm so grateful for these lessons. I've desperately needed a theatre business mentor and I feel like you're offering free mentorship, including constructive criticism.
Hope you all are booking every audition you go on, but in case you aren't, make sure you are NOT doing these 10 things! :)
Nope. I'm not. But hopefully I will in my future. Thanks for your advice and tips. x
This is so wonderful Austin. Truly a reminder of everything of what and what NOT to do with auditioning especially since starting to go back in person again. Sometimes when I go for auditions, it is a struggle because I want to give the greatest 110% of my performance and having that great reputation on and off stage. It can be stressful at the times even when I don't book the job and still show a good reputation. My mom (who passed away 3 years ago) always said to me..... always gotta be Humble. There are days where its truly NOT easy but there's always that special guidance voice inside reminds us to keep going.
Unprepared = you are wasting their time AND yours; was this not important enough to you to bring your "A Game?"
Rude??? The casting team is shredding your CV before you are out of the room; you are ALREADY trouble.
You are so right about Reputation. A bad rep will cost you jobs that you will never even know about.
Great advice, Austin. Many thanks.
Thanks April!

Question: if one is sick (but not contagious) and you show up to audition, the probability is you are not going to give your "non-ill" best.
What does one do/say, if anything?
With an agent, have them communicate that message to the casting director BEFORE your audition. Then, you are showing that you are a hard worker and dedicated with this slight road bump. Without an agent, the advice is similar, but you can email the casting director the morning of your audition to let them know you are fighting an illness, are prepared and still coming in to audition, are NOT contagious, and still excited for the opportunity.
If you have a reader, but they are reading multiple characters, do you choose one character to look at them for and place the others in different places around the room, or just look at the reader for all of the characters?
Such a great question! This can change depending on the scene, but a good general rule is to make the character who has the most lines the reader, then any other characters can be placed elsewhere. The other characters don't need to be far away or on the opposite side of the room, they can simply be right next to the reader. Just a slight shift in your focal point can make a big difference. The team will recognize that you understand the scene, who is speaking and when, that you are truly listening and a smart actor. If the location of the characters is relevant to the action of the scene, then definitely place them wherever you want in the room. Hope this helps!
